## The PCI DSS and its significance

The PCI DSS, in its own words, "was developed to encourage and enhance payment card account data security and facilitate the broad adoption of consistent data security measures globally."

The PCI DSS applies to every organization that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data (CHD) and/or sensitive authentication data (SAD), or that can influence the security of the cardholder data environment. This also includes businesses that gather sensitive data to verify cardholders or authorize payment transactions.
